BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

Straight from Lynn's journal (otterdance):

This has been in the works for a while now, folks, and it's early days yet, but the first three Nightrunner books have been optioned for movies by C-Squared Pictures. The script for Luck is in the writing process at the moment. I'm not in charge of that, but the writer/director, Charlie Spickler, has been gracious

Please, please, please let it happen.

So, who has hopes for a really good adaptation that will do the books justice? *raises hand* As a general rule, I'm wary of my favourite books being converted to film, but the fact that Lynn is being asked to contribute to the script gives me hope. Plus I'm just glad of the fact that the books are getting attention I never expected to see them get.

I've always thought that Tamir would make a great live-action film/mini-series, and that Nightrunner would work better as an anime...it just seems to fit the medium so well (and not just because anime's well-known for not censoring its m/m relationships so much). They are going to have cast Alec and Seregil really well for it to work, I think, because it's such a character-driven series and they're so vividly portrayed. Still, if they get the right guys (and they'd better be damn pretty, too) and a good script, it could be really great. I'll remain optimistic.

I'm keeping my thumbs up for an adaptation that actually does the books justice. I've seen too many terrible adaptations of my favourite books.

[akiko]

Yeah, me too. *glowers balefully at Peter Jackson* That said, I'll probably go see them if they get made.

[allodole]

I thought those movies were actually the only book-to-film-adaptations that were actually good in their own league, talking about Lord of the Rings. :o

Yeah, me too. If they are not too bad, depends on the casting.

Since this isn't a LOTR comm, I'll spare y'all my character assassination rant (it stars Gimli and Faramir, and Aragorn, Frodo, and Treebeard get brief cameos.) "Not if this thing were lying on the side of the road would I take it!" Dwarf tossing and dwarves as comic relief! "By Elbereth and Luthien the Fair, you will have neither the Ring nor me!"

*stops now* Legolas/Gimli was my first OTP, and Eowyn/Faramir was the second. When I was 12, I wanted to be Eowyn: she kicked ass and got the good brother.

We can play the casting game! Who should play Seregil & Alec? I vote Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) for Nysander.

*BIG GASP* *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE* *glass shatters* Ooops...

Ohmygod! This is fantastic! I have no idea what/who C-Squared is...but this is SO COOL!

*bounces up and down*

This could turn out to be the worst adaptation ever made and I'm pretty sure I'd still watch it.

I'll try not to get TOO excited, knowing how quickly things can go kaput with movies. But DAMN! I never expected them to even try!
